As a result of the budget proposals for 2013/14 approved by the Full Council in March, the number of litter and dog waste bins is being reduced by about 160 from approximately 900. The majority of these are dog waste bins which are situated close to a litter bin or where there is more than one bin in the area. Stickers are being attached to the litter bins to advise people that they can be used for disposing of dog waste as well as general litter. The council is appealing to dog owners to continue to act responsibly by bagging their dog waste and binning it in the network of about 740 bin facilities that are located across the Bay. If they are unable to find a bin they are requested to take the bag home and bin it in their residual waste bins.

If you wish to query/contest a dog fouling fine, you need to put your appeal in writing and address as follows: Chris Widdecombe C/O Town Hall Castle Circus Torquay TQ1 3DR

Fixed Penalty Notices for dog fouling are only served where there is clear evidence that the person in charge of the dog would not have picked up the dog faeces without the intervention of the dog warden/street warden.

Unfortunately, there is no right of appeal against the service of a Fixed Penalty Notice and the council can only consider withdrawing a fixed penalty in exceptional circumstances. If you wish to dispute the facts in relation to the service of the fixed penalty notice, you can allow the matter to proceed to court and make your case to the magistrate. You should be aware however, that you may incur more costs and a higher fine at Magistrates Court than the cost of the fixed penalty.
